China files WTO challenge to United States tariffs on solar panels：The Asahi Shimbun

On this legislation, US President Donald Trump has commented that it will provide additional tools to combat predatory investment practices that threaten the US fundamental technological leadership, national security, and future economic prosperity.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on August 8 that tariffs of 25 percent on 16 billion dollars of us goods - including autos, fuel, steel products and medical equipment - will be activated on August 23, the same day when Washington initiates tariffs on an equivalent amount of Chinese imports. That strained relations with US allies.

"While taking protectionist measures against imported photovoltaic products, the United States provided subsidies to domestically produced photovoltaics and other renewable energy products", the ministry said in a statement.

On Jan. 22, Trump approved tariffs up to 50 percent on imported washing machines for the next three years, and duties as much as 30 percent on imported solar panels for the next four years.

-Asked whether they would stop buying US products, 14 said they would, 31 said they wouldn't (some indicated their views could change if the trade war intensifies), and five didn't have a view. "I think China chose to bring it up in order to keep up the rhythm of the trade dispute", he said.

The United States and China have slapped tit-for-tat tariffs on tens of billions of dollars worth of goods from each country, with another round of levies scheduled to being next week.

Earlier, Beijing filed a separate WTO challenge on July 16 to Trump's proposal for yet another round of increases that would add 25 percent import duties on an additional $200 billion of Chinese goods. One Chinese executive told Reuters that USA solar tariffs were a "sideshow" and had little effect on Chinese business.

China responded two days later by proposing tariffs ranging from 5 percent to 25 percent on 5,207 USA goods worth 60 billion dollars.
